Wait, wait! Don't forget to save...

Have you ever filled out a form and accidently left the page without saving your work? It is actually quite easy to do. Thankfully, browsers have features to help prevent this from happening. The problem, however, is that taking advantage of those features can be quite difficult - until now.

The SkillBuilders Save Before Exit plug-in allows you to notify your users if they leave a page without saving their work. Simply install the plug-in and add it to your page!

  1. Detects changes made to items on the page
  2. Warning message displayed if user tries to leave page without clicking a button
    • Browser is closed
    • Back button is pressed
    • Link is clicked
    • Other...
  3. Option to customize the warning displayed
  4. Option to select elements that allow a user to leave the page without any warnings
  5. Option to select elements that should not trigger a warning when changed
  6. Methods to control whether or not a user is warned via JavaScript

IE8 problem with tab. form's new rows
by SeWp
on March 18, 2013
Hi all,

I need a help with SaveBeforeExit plugin configuration.

My scenario:

I have a tabular for where one column is defined as popup LOV. I would like to use a SaveBeforeExit plugin to display a warning message when there is some not saved data on the page.
I use a jQuery selector as "Disable Warning Selector" to disable the warning message when something is changed in existing row and user clicks on LOV arrow button (this works).

table.report-standard a

But this approach does not work when the new row is created. When I create a new row and put some data to some column and then click on LOV arrow button then the warning message is displayed. I have also tried to change the event scope of dynamic action from Static to Dynamic, but without success.

Thx in advance for any help!

Does not work on Safari
by Dan McGhan

Hamayun,

The plugin works by leveraging the DOM Level event onbeforeunload. All major desktop browsers, save Opera, support this event.

It appears that Safari on the iPad doesn't either. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that.

Regards,
Dan

Question about Save before exit Plugin

Fabricio,

Perhaps a better place for your question is the APEX forum. I recommend you first create an example of your problem on apex.oracle.com or on another publicly accessible instance of APEX. You can then provide developer credentials so that people can take a look and help you.

Changing Shuttle Width
by Dan McGhan
on September 27, 2012
Hi Mark,

I haven't seen this issue for a while, but the problem is that there is a class name that APEX doesn't add to the element when you use the attributes there.

The solution is simple, add the class on your own. First run the page without specifying the style attribute. Inspect the page and find the class that's added. Then add your style back but add the class too.

Regards,
Dan

Changing Shuttle Width
by Mark Roe
on September 27, 2012
I'm using Save Before Exit 3.0.2 and Apex 4.1.1. When I change the width of a shuttle using HTML Form Element Attributes and style=width:280px. The Save Before Exit always fires on this element when it has a value. Is there anything I can do to keep the width and the Save Before Exit functionality?

Thanks
Mark

RE:Help Label

Thanks for the quick reply.
It works great now. I was using a different theme (for testing and debugging I used #23 but normally I use a custom theme ). I've adjusted the label with help template in my theme and after that the Disable Warning Selector and all works great now.
Thanks again!
